There some documents about that (load_cycle_count), you can review them
here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Laptop#Hard_drive_spin_down_problem
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695
As per temperature, some hard disk manufacturers read raw values and not
normalized, just be sure you are reading/interpreting in the right manner:

Besides, is hard disk the only device getting warm? Maybe you are facing
a general cooling problem? :-?
